- For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
- Glory and honor are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
- Give unto the LORD, ye kindred of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
- Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an oftering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
- Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

MESSAGE:
Worship is an expression of love, admiration, and awe of Gods wonderful works (Deuteronomy 10:21). Worship is the nature of God. He lives in worship and if you want to draw nearer to God, you have to know how to worship Him.
Worship is obedience, just as obedience is worship to God. If you are a disobedient child, you cannot truly say that you know how to worship your Father in heaven. f you truly love Him, you will not disobey Him. God created you to worship Him, and you must do it in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). He not only deserves your worship, he desires it. God manifests his splendour when you truly worship him. Do not worship him grudgingly or out of obligation, worship Him with gladness (Psalms 100:2).
To worship God is to serve Him. It means that you do exactly what God wants and go where He wants you to go. Worship is not an activity, it is a lifestyle. All your actions and thoughts should be aimed at worshipping God in spirit and in truth.
Reflection:
Do you truly worship God?
Hymns: Christian Seek Not Yet Repose
- Christian, seek not yet repose,
Hear thy guardian angel say,
“Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray! - Principalities and powers,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for thine unguarded hours:
“Watch and pray! - Gird thy heavenly armour on,
Wear it every night and day,
Ambushed lies the evil one:
“Watch and pray! - Hear the victors who overcame;
Still they mark each warrior’s way,
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
“Watch and pray! - Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word,
“Watch and pray! - Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
“Watch and pray!
